| Name origin | Wikipedia states that Aprilia was named after the pre-war Lancia Aprilia, a car. The company was founded by Cavaliere Alberto Beggio in Noale, near Venice, so the name is not a family surname. | Bimota is a portmanteau of the first two letters of each founder's surname: Bianchi, Morri and Tamburini. The company was founded in Rimini in 1973 by Valerio Bianchi, Giuseppe Morri and Massimo Tamburini. |
